NEW DELHI: Ahead of the second Test, there was a lot of debate on out-of-form KL Rahul and in-form Sarfaraz Khan for a spot in the Playing XI for the fixture in Pune. After India's loss in the opening Test in Bengaluru, the key question was who should be picked for the next match — KL Rahul or Sarfaraz?
At the toss in Pune, Rohit revealed the three changes in India XI and ended the KL Rahul vs Sarfaraz debate by picking Sarfaraz over the Karnataka batter. Along with Sarfaraz, Washington Sundar and Akash Deep were also brought in while KL Rahul, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav were dropped.
